“And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Mark says, “And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him”. Why did Mark add “loved him”? He seems to emphasize these realistic words because Jesus truly loved him and wanted him to have eternal life. It wouldn’t be loving if Jesus wasn’t truthful. Does Jesus want any of us to not have eternal life? He died for us so we can have eternal life, if we only believe Him. The man seemed to put more faith in his riches than Jesus. Please pray that we and our friends put all our faith in Jesus. Please pray for the mothers that are contemplating abortion today.
